Aquor Servers was created in 2010 with this goal in mind: To create a Vanilla Minecraft survival server that made base versus base competition a satisfying game. While it saw some success, seeing actual organized raids on attackers versus defenders, it was hampered by the limitations of Vanilla Minecraft, and was ultimately shut down.This all changed when I, Sting_Auer, learned of Terrafirmacraft. The combination of an overhauled resource system, and the overall slowed pace of the game, solved the problems that faced Vanilla Aquor.
With a new tool bestowed by Bioxx and Dunkleosteus, the developers for Terrafirmacraft, I forged a new server, and Aquor saw greater success than it once had. While the playerbase was initially smaller, the game was much more engaging and thought-provoking. Risks needed to be weighed more carefully, and player cooperation – as well as competition – was more meaningful.
Now, unlike in Vanilla Minecraft, civilizations pour their resources and labor power into powerful castles and manufacturing copper, bronze, iron, steel, and red/blue steel, instead of powering through to the top-tier in 30 minutes and building obsidian cubes floating in the sky. With the increasingly region-dependent resource distribution, inter-civilization trade is becoming more and more important. Changes to metalworking have made it easier for new players to get off the ground and start playing, while still giving more established players a defensive advantage, if not an offensive one.
This server has had its ups and downs, and its goals as a server and a community have changed over time. The current plan is to raise enough money to build a proper dedicated server machine, and afford greater bandwidth, resulting in a higher player cap. Donations are accepted, and Subscription is available to those that would like something in return for supporting the server.

Rules:
To maintain a friendly, but still competitive environment in Aquor, certain rules must be followed. While wewish to grant players as much freedom as possible, there are certain behaviors that must be restricted to make the gaming environment enjoyable for as many players as possible. These rules are listed here:
1.) Profanity is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, saying or alluding to Rape, discussing sex in a joking or unprofessional manner, and other similar topics.
2.) Cheating of any kind is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, combat logging, X-ray texture packs, hacking clients, speedhacks, flighthacks, noclip, griefing clients, etc.
3.) Personal attacks on other players is not permitted. Banter between players is fine, as it is a part of the competitive gameplay.
4.) The admins have final say in what happens on the server. That being said, you can voice your opinions in a respectful manner, and the admins will listen.
5.) Griefing and raiding are allowed, but don't be a jerk about it! The point of this server is to have fun, not make others feel bad or quit the server. Making people leave is a loss for everyone, not just the quitter.
6.) Always be courteous to other players. If something you are doing is interfering with another players ability to enjoy the server experience, then you should stop! Unless it breaks a rule or stops you from enjoying the server in the way it is meant to be played, there is no need to continue.
7.) Metagaming, while it can't be stopped, is heavily discouraged. Metagaming entails causing other players to quit, doing things outside of the game that are detrimental to others (regular communication is fine), or anything that works outside of the intentions of the game. Not only does it ruin the fun for other people, but it's actually detrimental to the server itself!
8.) Outside of ~9KM from spawn, you are not allowed to farm. This is a soft limit, so if you are afraid that you are breaking it, contact an admin and they will check your coordinates and location to make sure it's okay.
If you've never played Terra Firma Craft before, this is one of the best mods currently being developed. I highly recommend this server if it's your first time using it, everyone is very friendly and will help you learn the basics, and probably even give you tools to get started so you don't have to suffer through the stone age.
The current latency and lag problems should be fixed soon. We are getting in contact with Comcast and will have them send a technician to fix the problem.
So yeah, its Legitpigman, haven't even thought of minecraft in a while, too much Dwarf Fortress and League of Legends, but thought why not come back and give the game another shot. I don't really know how to install Terrafirmacraft so any help with that would be amazing. I'm using windows 8 and I think that's the reason I cannot run the MineForge installer as it wont open as anything other than a .jar file. As I said though, haven't played minecraft in a long while so installing mods and such may be a lot different than before, but hopefully I can get connected soon enough, but yeah, I'm back! (I go by Syndigoism now, but my IGN is still Legitpigman)

Welcome back legitpigman ^_^.
So, Here's what you want to do. Keep in mind that I'm running windows 7 because it's better because it's what I have on my desktop:
Right click on the Forge installer .JAR file, and go to "run as"
Choose Java, or browse to it if it doesn't show up as a default program
NOW it should run correctly. You can also try running it as administrator.
unfortunately the TFC website is being DDOS'd apparently, so it's not possible to download the TFC .ZIP file. Hopefully you already have it downloaded. If not, I could see if Bioxx could post a download mirror in the TFC chat or something, which I'd then post here.
I am still attempting to fix the automatic startup system to avoid this problem.

Remember to delete your configs after updating! This new versions fixes a bug related to blast furnaces.
Possible late startup today (17 Oct. 2013). Don't freak out if the server isn't up on time!Disregard the message about a late startup. The server will be starting at normal time today.
